It's Scorsese's best film pound for pound and just about as perfect as a movie could possibly get. If I had made a list of GOAT movies, this would safely be in the #1 spot.

They were going to kill her. One of the guys says something about moving the box to block the window.
Also just look at how many films it influenced (some great ones too)
PTA had to pay homage on Boogie Nights.
Even Scorsese had to return to the source on Casino and Wolf of Wall Street
Without this film even the GOAT TV series The Sopranos doesn't exist

Woulda been a big mistake. Ray Liotta was perfect
Jimmy Conway was De Niro's character.

Seems like they were going to kill her.
The camera also goes upwards to see the One Way sign pointing inside the place. I doubt a director like Scorsese just did that for the hell of it.
If she went inside, she wasn’t coming back out (at least not alive)

Everyone compares Menace II Society and Boyz N the Hood, but Menace was much closer in style to a Scorsese movie.
The Hughes brothers said Scorsese was a big influence on them. Just watch Goodfellas and then Menace. They both start out with a sudden act of violence, along with some narration. Henry talks about always wanting to be a gangster, Caine about how things were funny in the hood. Then they cut back to their childhoods and they show them as kids and their families.
The house party scene in Menace is similar to the restaurant scene when Henry introduces some of the wise guys. They both have tracking shots inside, with narration talking about different characters
I thought the second half of Menace was kind of like Mean Streets with its series of vignettes, giving a slice-of-life feel.
I know Scorsese was complimentary of the movie and the Hughes brothers.

Scorsese does that. In the Departed, anyone who dies is behind/next to an 'X'. It might be a homage to the Godfather where bad shyt happens when an Orange is involved.

Scorsese said it’s an homage to the original Scarface.
